Shannin found a link to Crash Potatoes on Pinterest. “I thought it would be an easy new way to cook potatoes. Not so.”

“First of all if the potatoes are too big, they don’t cook as fast as the small ones when you boil them.”

“Then, the the skin started to peel off when I tried to mash them and they went flying around the pan. After the masher started to bend inward I just went at them with a fork, covered them in the olive oil mixture and sprinkled on some chives”

I make these potatoes all the time. They are my family especially my 3 year old’s favorite! Mine always turn out great. I never hand pick the potatoes, I just buy a bag of small red potatoes. You do have to make sure you boil them until done, then be gentle with the masher. These are my fav!

I haven’t had a whole lot of fails but I am glad to see this one! I made these a few nights ago and was surprised what a terrible time I had with something so simple. Think they must have just been way too big. Sent several shooting across the kitchen. They ended up looking like a big pan full of potato mess explosion, which I covered with cheese and butter and baked till crispy and… tasted better than it looked, definitely!
